The first potential elimination game of MLB's Divisional Round is tonight from San Diego as the Padres try to extend their season in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers. If the usually reliable Friars' bullpen was up to the task in the first two games, San Diego might instead be playing for a three-game sweep.

I probably don't have to tell you the weather is utterly perfect in San Diego, with winds blowing in slightly. At -135 on the money line at DraftKings, the Padres are taking 57% of bets but only 43% of handle. On the total of 7, there's heavy action to the Over.
On the updated series line, Milwaukee is -1100 and San Diego +800. I'm personally rooting for the winner of this series to go on and win the Fall Classic because neither franchise has won a title yet. Teams that have won the first two games at home in Division Series with the current 2-2-1 format have gone on to win the series 33 of 36 times (92%).
No team has rallied from an 0-2 hole in a best-of-5 since the Yankees dropped the first two of the 2017 ALDS in Cleveland.

DraftKings SGP price: +154 (subject to change) The Padres blew a 2-0 lead in dropping Game 1 and then took one of the biggest gut-punch losses in team history Sunday. With often-unhittable closer Mason Miller on the mound and San Diego leading 3-2 entering the bottom of the ninth, it sure looked like we were headed to southern California tied 1-1. But rising Brewers superstar Jackson Chourio played hero again with the game-winning, two-run single with two outs in the 4-3 victory.
Twice previously this season, Miller was asked for a six-out save and got it without any issues. Milwaukee won 42 games in come-from-behind fashion during the regular season, tied for fifth most in MLB. It is not hyperbole to say Sunday was the biggest playoff comeback win in Brewers history, as it was the first last-inning comeback in the postseason that began with Milwaukee trailing.
